so instead of just starting on the heel where you can fully load up your stick for the shot and then just shooting…going from heel (loaded) to toe (release), 2 steps. YOU declare "we" , whoever we is, don't do that anymore. Instead, your saying its better to go from toe (load) to heel (load again?) then back to toe (release) and some how keep the load applied on the toe in step 1 through step 2 and finally to 3 and release!? Now a snap or wrist shot plus a toe drag. Nah, neither faster or harder. You can obviously put a greater load on the stick from the heel and adding a toe drag means it takes longer to release.

Thanks for the tips
Wish he was my coach at instructional league.
I swear I saw a video of him saying to keep the hole blade on the ice during the shot
"we dont do that anymore"..
your so called "new" technique you are showing, was shown to me by an NHL pro in 1993…
Toe drag release lmao
This is why Europeans are dominating in goaltending. It's about basics, not tricks.
This guy's old coach was probably using a one piece Sherwood or something. The sticks they use now r more are like magic wands compared to back then
This is fantastic advise. Listen up kids!
First good one I've heard
